xjustinxschwierx Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Reckless usually gets his new albums in, so I think I'll hold off and get one from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Is this going to be better than Working on a Dream? That was a terrible album. I thought Magic was terrific so it hurt me to my Jersey-Loving soul to have to admit that Bruce can record a bad record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I don't think it could be worse than WOAD. what i've heard from this it sounds phenomenal, the Wrecking Ball song alone is going to be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I thought Wrecking Ball was kinda a lame song. Pretty bummed that is the title track for the new album. Also, Outlaw Pete is a great song off of WOAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumtaurus Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The WOAD stuff translated wonderfully live... though I admit that the album left a lot to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammyg Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Magic was great, but the vinyl sounds awful. Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Outlaw Pete is a great song off of WOAD it's not his best effort, but it's better than the lions share of WOAD - which Outlaw Pete was the best song, that much I agree.

turbobrando Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Who's going to see Bruce when he comes to your town for this tour? He's playing April 17th in Cleveland. Pretty excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wherever he plays in Chicago, I will be there. I hope to God it's not at Wrigley Field, though, like the rumor mill has been saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The closet he comes to Maine is always Boston, which turns into a near 400 dollar trip to go see. I do admit that WOAD is a lyrically weak album, but there are some real gems on there, but it is no Magic. The track released off this is really good, though it does have a bit of a Rising vibe to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nothing wrong with The Rising. One of my favorites, actually. Speaking of which, would love to see a repress of that record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nivek87 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I love The Rising. That is one of my most coveted records on vinyl. I would say there were two (three counting The Wrestler) songs on WOAD that did me right only. Even with that said, I still have very high hopes for Wrecking Ball. I hope some lyrics are altered to not fit the demolition to Giants Stadium in the Wrecking Ball song though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfreliable Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I hope some lyrics are altered to not fit the demolition to Giants Stadium in the Wrecking Ball song though. That is my main issue with the song. Never been there and never being a fan of a team that plays there it doesnt mean that much to me. If he does change it some to be a commentary on things in society, than I will change my tune. From what I have been reading, this is going to be a very political/social commentary album, which I feel is where Bruce is at his best. GOTJ is an amazing album in that way and vastly overlooked.

Couldn't agree more about Ghost of Tom Joad. Youngstown is one of my favorite Bruce songs. I am a Ravens fan so I have no affiliation with the Giants or Jets, but I was at one of the final Giant Stadium shows, so theres a little nostalgia about seeing him open with it and the atmosphere when he opened with it, but the live 10" will fill the void. I agree about the social commentary, it can definitely be a top tier modern springsteen song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjustinxschwierx Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 that was a jab at the Cubs, but yes, that show in that part of town is gonna suuuuuuuuuck. I'm gonna go to Milwaukee to see him, a much better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
